Typical clinical features of cluster headache (CH) include circadian/circannual rhythmicity and ipisilateral cranial autonomic features.

Both the Continuum Hypothesis and Martin's Axiom allow induc-tive constructions to continue in circumstances where the inductive hypothesis might otherwise fail. The search for useful related axioms procedes naturally in two directions: towards "Super Martin's Axioms ," which extend MA to broader classes of orders; and towards "Anti-Martin's Axioms" (AMA's) which are strictly weaker than CH, bu...

Both computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) are centrally concerned with teamwork, learning, problem solving, knowledge building, task accomplishment and other cognitive achievements by small groups of people. There are many theories useful for framing the cognitive work that groups undertake in CSCL and CSCW settings, and they may in pri...
